[Designer Help - Excluding Layers From Selection]

Locking was the first thing I tried, and that didn't prevent me from selecting that image by accident. However, I found a work-around: This image I'm using on the bottom of the stack as a rough draft is a raster image with the tag (Pixel) rather than (Layer). I put the image in a group, and then locked that group, and now I can't select the layer by accident when I'm using move tool/node tool. That's good, but now my question is: Why does locking have that distinction for vector layers and groups, but not for pixel/raster objects that are not in groups?

[Designer Help - Excluding Layers From Selection]

I have a background image rough draft that I'm working over. How do I prevent it from being selected? I would like to remove selection of anything not on the currently selected layer, if possible; that feature usually just gets in the way because sometimes when I make a new object, I have to drag it over to the layer I want it to be in because some other layer was accidentally selected while I was making the object.

[Color goes away when using pen tool, and there's no mirror image option?]

Hi. I'm just using the trial for Designer, and I've encountered a couple of problems:

1. I want to use the pen tool to make shapes with black fill and no outline. It works as expected for making one shape, but when I add the second node for a new shape, the fill swatch goes to "no fill", and I have to move the color picker around to go back to black. Does anyone know why this happens?

2. There doesn't seem to be an option to mirror the view without editing the content, so to check the balance of my project, I would have to take a screenshot, open the screenshot in IrfanView, and then mirror the view. Is there a more efficient workaround? Will mirroring be added in the future?
